If the circumstances were truly unavoidable, you can try for a SB-1 Returning Resident visa. You'd need to have very good reasons though, such as unable to travel due to illness.

Otherwise- yes, your dad can petition you, but it will take 7 years if you are unmarried, or ten if married.

Even if you file for a SB-1,you will probably go into AP. Neither situation will happen fast. You have been back in Pak for over 2 years.

Did your father naturalize or is he a US citizen by birth? If by naturalization, how old were you when he became a US citizen?

He naturalized. I was 30 when he became citizen. What is AP? Seems like there is no way i can go back again :-(

AP - Administrative Processing is done to extensively find out the history of the petitioned so as to decide if an immigrant visa should or should not be issued.
